BUFFALO, NY (10/14/2023) -- University of Detroit Mercy women's cross country graduate senior Allison Sherman pushed her name further up the Titan record books with a second-place finish and a big personal record at the Canisius Alumni Classic on Saturday.

The Titans claimed third with 103 points at the 5k race held in Delaware Park in Buffalo, New York.

Junior Evie Wright took 14th in 18:48, a PR by 50 seconds, while freshman Helana Napiorkowski was 24th in a season-best 19:18.

Freshman Avery Saunder lowered her season 5k time by almost two minutes to 19:46 for 35th, while freshman Alaina Burns ran a season-best 19:54 for 42nd. 

Freshman Abby Fifield tallied a season-low 20:07 for 47th, and junior Nina Pizzo registered a career-best for the third-straight week, taking 49th in 20:10.

Senior Katie Anderla and sophomore Taylor Myers also hit PR's.
